Vettones

The Vettones were a Celtic people who lived in northeastern Lusitania in the central Iberian Peninsula, with Helmantica (Salamanca) serving as their capital. They founded Obila (Avila), Mirobriga (Ciudad Rodrigo), Turgalium (Trujillo), and other cities, and they were traditional allies of the Lusitani. In 206 BC, they threw off the Carthaginian yoke, but they were incorporated into the Roman province of Hispania Ulterior in 133 BC. From 27 to 13 BC, they were Romanized.
